Filter by:This Study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary therapeutic efficacy of oral administrations of CDZ173 in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of subcutaneous azacitidine in combination with durvalumab as compared with subcutaneous azacitidine alone in adults with previously untreated, higher risk MDS who are not eligible for HSCT or in adults ≥ 65 years old with previously untreated AML who are not eligible for HSCT, with intermediate or poor cytogenetic risk.
This prospective randomized placebo-controlled double blind clinical trial will conducted in Ain Shams University maternity Hospital including 120 women diagnosed with clomiphene citrate resistant polycystic ovary syndrome. After laparoscopic ovarian drilling, they will be randomized to either receiving 50 mg oral clomiphene citrate twice daily and oral NAC 1,200 mg/day for 5 days starting from cycle day 2 to cycle day 6 (group 1 = 60 patients) or clomiphene citrate only (group 2 = 60 patients). The primary outcome will be biochemical pregnancy rate, secondary outcomes include Clinical pregnancy rate, ovulation rate, live birth rate, number of follicles ≥ 18 mm and endometrial thickness at triggering ovulation, mid- luteal sub-endometrial blood flow indices, and incidence of side effects.
Multi-center study enrolling patients suspected or newly diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), myelodysplastic syndromes/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN) overlap disorder, or idiopathic cytopenia of undetermined significance (ICUS). Participants will be followed long term. Clinical data, blood, and tissue samples will be collected to establish a biorepository to facilitate the study of the natural history of MDS.
Human autologous serum is commonly used in the treatment of dry eye disease. However, different patients may have different effect with autologous serum treatment. We would like to find if different autologous serum had different component of cytokines in different etiologies of dry eye.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Cadisurf (goat lung surfactant extract) as compared to Survanta (beractant) in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome in preterm neonates (with gestation of 26 to 32 weeks).
Presence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its relation with insulin resistance, obesity, dyslipidemia, systemic inflammation and cardiovascular disease is of great concern. The study of certain adipokines such as adiponectin has demonstrated an inverse association with insulin resistance, especially in Latin population lower levels of adiponectin have been observed compared to other ethnic groups. It appears to be an important molecule that is involved in limiting the pathogenesis of obesity-linked disorders and may have potential benefits as a marker to evaluate the effect of possible interventions on the MetS components and its complications. Metformin is treatment of choice in patients with MetS, due to its low cost and pharmacological comparable effects with thiazolidinediones (pioglitazone), it decreases hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, free fatty acids and triglycerides, it produces as well, a moderate weight loss, improves lipid profile and delays the appearance of diabetes mellitus in subjects with an abnormal fasting glucose. A second choice to lower the risks would be the addition of a fiber like inulin, a prebiotic, since it has demonstrated metabolic benefits on lipid and carbohydrates metabolism by several mechanisms proposed such as induction of lipogenic enzymes by glucose, production of short-chained fatty acids, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and growth of Bifidobacterium. A good natural source of inulin is the agave. It is expected that the combination of metformin plus agave inulin will produce a beneficial impact through pharmacological synergism and that will produce changes in the pathophysiology of MetS.
In recent years, a large number of studies have been conducted on how to improve the treatment of patients in the Emergency Room (ER) complaining of chest pains. Great advances have been achieved recently regarding diagnostic methods aided by coronary CT angiopraphy (CCTA) and sensitive troponins. However, various questions about these methods still remain obscure and there is no effective comparison between them in patients with intermediate risk. The aim of the study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of sensitivity troponins in the detection of coronary artery disease in patients with chest pain and the intermediate probability of ACS compared with CCTA.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of two different techniques of non-invasive ventilation (nCPAP and nHFOV) on gas exchange in preterm infants recovering from respiratory distress syndrome.
The primary aims of this study are: 1. To determine the feasibility of deploying mindBEAGLE, a portable, bedside EEG-based system, in the Intensive Care Unit in patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) or locked-in syndrome (LIS); 2. To determine if mindBEAGLE neurophysiologic markers of cognitive function correlate with bedside behavioral assessments of consciousness; 3. To determine if mindBEAGLE neurophysiologic markers of cognitive function correlate with functional MRI (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) biomarkers of consciousness; 4. To determine if mindBEAGLE can serve as an assistive communication device for people with LIS.
